Read the first two chapters of Emery Robin's upcoming novel in this exclusive expert.
The smuggler had gone ahead of me, through the bowels of the ship. I made to push past Zorione, but she caught my arm at the last moment, and stood on her tiptoes to whisper into my ear, “Madam, I’m afraid—”
“It’ll take as long as it takes,” said the smuggler. “If you have any service complaints, you’ve got three guesses who you can complain to.”Three guesses seemed excessive, but it was more munificence than I had been offered in months. “If I stand here behind you,” I said, “will I be in your way?” That was the only warning I got. In the back, I could hear Zorione yelp as the ship spun like a top, suddenly and violently. The smuggler shoved a lever forward, yanked it to the left, and pushed three sliders on the control board up to their highest positions.

Within it was a single white dot: our ship, I guessed, and the edge of the atmosphere.

Bring the soldiers their force-shields, and pull around“Like conquerors we’ll do it,” said Ana. “Bring her corpse before us to the city gates.”That wasn’t why. Quinha’s ship was borrowed, a colony-made pirate thing, but I feared her guns.
